February 5, 2003 – morning

Eeek! I forgot to blog this morning! The horrors!

Wt: 142.0 (nice!)
Mood: Mischevious
Work Docket: Customer Service page stuff, Finish Redoing River’s Rebirth
Lunch Plans: Taking pizza home
Afternoon/Evening: Probably the gym w/John. Obsidian Knight rescheduled guild meeting tonight at 9:30. I may or may not go, depending on whether or not I’m awake. After yesterday’s marathon AC session, I should take some time off.

Our lovely Governor McGreevey is raising taxes left and right. Every tax but state income tax. Cutting education funding. Eliminating arts funding. Raising cigarette tax. Raising hotel tax, casino tax, and taxing casino comps. That’s sure to help tourism. And killing property tax rebates for couples earning over $100,000 a year. (Which would be us, if we owned a house). Plus, he wore a really ugly tie.

Remember reading that 53% of New Jerseyans are unhappy with living here? Bet that number goes up really fast.

On a brighter note, this morning I took a mini-tour of the presses with Tim, the pressroom manager. The sheer size of these machines is mind-boggling. I’d love for us to be able to set up a webcam up there to watch them operate.
